Chen Xia could only smile bitterly and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
At noon, no one served food. Chen Xia quietly sat in the space and took out two meat buns and stuffed them into his mouth. What he was thinking in his mind was that even if he failed this time and was arrested and put in jail, he would not starve to death with so many food reserves. It was really a blessing in disguise.
While he was still studying what the prison would look like, the leaders of the Fourth Hospital arrived in Xipu Commune.
Those who came with them included Secretary Zhang Zhizhong, Dean Gu Wei, Personnel Section Chief Liu Bo, and Infectious Diseases Department Director Ren Yuanfei. The four of them drove to the commune in a 212 jeep at such a high speed that even the guards didn't dare to stop them.
These days, only county-level officials can ride in a jeep. Yuezhou Fourth Hospital, a former military hospital, even after being transferred to the local government, still has an administrative level of county or department, two levels higher than the commune. The current political system is "prefecture-county-district-commune-village."
(This district is actually the central town. Ke Town is also called Ke Town District, and its jurisdiction covers the surrounding 10 communes.)
The head of the commune was not there. Si Xinliang was in the office. When they heard the sound of the car, they all came out of the office, thinking that a leader from the county had come to inspect.
Si Xinliang knew several leaders of the Fourth Hospital and hurried out to greet them. "Hey, what brings Secretary Zhang and Dean Gu here?"
Zhang Zhizhong and Gu Wei were now at loggerheads. Gu Wei, in particular, got straight to the point and asked, "Director Si, on what basis did your commune arrest the staff of our Fourth Hospital? Aren't you showing too much disregard for our hospital?"
Si Xinliang was a bit puzzled. The commune was arresting someone? Who? He had never issued any orders. A junior officer quickly came over and reminded him, "Director, it's the speculator from Qingfeng Village. Deputy Director Ge arrested him this morning. He's now being held at the police station."
"Nonsense! Whoever is speculating and profiteering can't be someone from the Fourth Hospital. How come I don't know about this? Does Deputy Director Ge even think of me as the director?"
In any organization, the top and second-in-command can never get along. Why is Ge Jun so active? Isn't it to squeeze out Si Xinliang so that he can take the top position? Si Xinliang knows this very well, so he doesn't mind stepping on him a few times at the critical moment.
"Alright, alright, Lao Si, stop talking nonsense. Once we've thoroughly investigated this matter today, we'll let you deal with our people. If your commune has wronged our people, then we'll go to the district office and demand an explanation."
Si Xinliang quickly said, "I think there must be a misunderstanding. Our Deputy Director Ge Jun is a very responsible comrade. Of course, he is a bit rough in his work, but it is also for the sake of doing revolutionary work well."
In fact, Si Xinliang was already laughing in his heart. Ge Jun had offended the soldiers of the Fourth Hospital. It was really like a scholar meeting a soldier. If he had a point, it would be fine. But if he didn't, I believe the soldiers of the Fourth Hospital would teach him a lesson in a minute.
As they were walking towards the police station, Ge Jun and Yang Qi, having heard the news, also rushed over. Although their efforts were unsuccessful, they at least brought the man back. Now it was just a matter of finding a crime. He was just a kid, and there were plenty of ways to make him confess.
So the two of them went to the grain station to drink at noon. When they heard the commune's young clerk say that the president and secretary of the Fourth Institute had come to the door, they were shocked. They knew very well what they had done, and it was almost impossible to convict Chen Xia based on the two thousand kilograms of rice.
This is trouble. I didn't expect that this guy is related to the huge Fourth Hospital, and the hospital's top two leaders are all out. It's easier to invite a god than to send him away.
Gu Chuan and Zhang Zhizhong already knew that it was Deputy Director Ge who had arrested Chen Xia, so naturally they were not in a good mood and didn't even bother to shake hands. Instead, Ren Yuanfei couldn't help but sarcastically said:
"Deputy Director Ge is awesome for being able to label a little kid as a profiteer. I hope you can keep doing this."
Ge Jun was no pushover, so naturally his temper flared up. "Whether or not this is speculation or profiteering still needs to be determined by the organization. Leader, please don't rush to make a conclusion."
Zhang Zhizhong, Gu Wei, Ren Yuanfei, and Liu Bo all narrowed their eyes.
